    I have heard several conflicting reports on this matter and there are at least
    two published exploits for the Solaris login overflow (by matmonkey.org and
    morgansexter.com) that do *not* explicitly set the TTYPROMPT environment
    variable.

    If somone (perhaps somone from Sun) could clarify this matter once and for all
    i would be most gratefull.
